All Montana counties are implementing mail ballots for the June 2 primary election, to reduce the amount of possible exposure for voters and poll workers.

AARP Connecticut has recently met virtually with federal lawmakers to urge more help for older Americans and their families as they face growing health and economic challenges due to the coronavirus crisis. Residents in nursing homes, those who are food-insecure, and people who have lost their jobs are particularly in need.

U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee of Michigan's 5th Congressional District participated in a telephone town hall today hosted by AARP Michigan. He fielded questions from the listening audience dealing with protecting older adults at nursing homes, federal stimulus checks, coronavirus testing availability and other topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
